Introduction
The ValveMate 7000 is an EFD dispense valve controller, incorporating programmable dispense time, digital time and air pressure readout, microprocessor interface, small size and universal mounting.
Other features include:
•Push-button time setting input or onetouch time programming.
•Floating decimal, providing dispense time ranges of 0.001 to 9.999 and 00.01 to 99.99 seconds.
•Bright red LED that displays both time setting and dispensing pressure in psi or bar scale.
•Push-button purge feature.
•Low air-pressure alarm and End-of-Cycle feedback signals.
The ValveMate 7000 has been designed with the machine builder and operator in mind. The objectives are to bring dispensing control close to the point of application, and to provide the features necessary to make setup and operation as easy and precise as possible.
The ValveMate is easy to operate. Once you have reviewed the features, you will understand the benefits and the ease of control the ValveMate provides.
As with all EFD products, the ValveMate has been produced to exacting specifications and thoroughly tested prior to shipment.
To obtain maximum performance from this equipment, please read the instructions carefully.
IMPORTANT: The primary control of deposit size is the valve open time. The ValveMate 7000 provides easy access and “on the fly” adjustment of valve open time.
2 / Introduction
Specifications
The small size and adjustable mounting bracket allow for positioning of the ValveMate close to the point of valve operation and provide convenient access to setup and dispensing adjustment controls.
Digital readout is shown for both dispensing time and air pressure.
“On the fly” time adjustment allows adjustment of valve output while the equipment is running. This feature eliminates the need to shut down parent machinery to change or adjust dispense time settings.
Other features and explanations of controls are detailed in the diagrams on pages 4 and 5.

7. PRESSURE / TIME
In the RUN mode, press to change the display
from time to pressure. Press a second time to change pressure back to time.
In the SETUP mode, press and hold for 3.0 seconds to toggle pressure display from psi to bar. Press a second time for 3.0 seconds to toggle pressure display back to psi.
8. TIME SET ▲ (up)
